TSW on Winning Team for City Hall East

September 2004

On August 18th, City of Atlanta officials announced that the City will enter into negotiations with developer Emory Morsberger's Ponce Park team for the upcoming revitalization of Atlanta's City Hall East. The former Sears building, built in 1926, will undergo a dramatic transformation into a mixed-use project featuring residential, office, retail, and park space.

Tunnell-Spangler-Walsh worked with Morsberger to develop a site master plan and adaptive re-use strategy. The redeveloped City Hall East will have 1,300 residential units in a combination of rental and owner-occupied units housed in both rehabilitated and new buildings. Some of these units will be work-force housing, some of which may be reserved for seniors. The plan also calls for 250,000 square feet of retail space, 100,000 square feet of offices, and 8 acres of green space.
